I haven't been around these parts for a while, but many of you already know that I own a Mobility Service Dog. His name is Sage.
My buddy Sage needs a very expensive hip surgery, so that he can continue helping me with my daily life.
Sage is just a little over a year old and he already does so much to help me around the house.
He is trained to a lazer pointer, so that he can retrieve the items that I need. He is a hard worker and he always keeps the floors in my home free from trip hazards by cleaning the house diligently. If I need my cane he will bring it or if the phone rings he will bring it in a hurry, so that I can answer. Sometimes he just carries an item from my husband to me or vice versa. Other times, like when we go to the Farmer's Market, he wears his pack and carries my groceries. When we go shopping, Sage lets me hold on to his harness handle, like a living cane. With him supplying some forward pull and my cane on the opposite side I don't tire as easily when I am walking. When I sit in a chair, sometimes I have a hard time getting back on my feet. Sage is there to help me. He lets me brace on his shoulders or pulls me up with his harness.
My medical condition varies from day to day. Some days we are really busy, Sage and I. Other days, when I am not feeling well, his job is pretty boring. Still, he is willing to wait by my side until I need something ... even if it is just a trip to the bathroom. During the day he is always near by - in case I might need him. He sleeps beside my bed at night. I feel the cool press of his nose occasionally when I am asleep, because he always checks on me several times each night. He is always there to take care of me. Many Service Dogs come from special service lines. They have generations of breeding that make them well suited for their jobs. Sage is a mutt. His momma was a registered German Shepherd and his dad was a Siberian Husky. He was an accident. He may only be a big hairy mutt, but he has loads of intelligence and a duty in this world. He started his Service training at about 10 weeks old.
Recently we went to the veterinarians because he was a little sore in his hip. They did some x-rays... they came back with BAD news. Sage has hip dysplasia. So far he is doing well, but that won't last for long. The constant stress that he encounters from helping me will soon cause the joint to deteriorate. He will be in constant pain and soon he will be as crippled and arthritic as I am. There is hope for my boy. That is where you can help. He needs a hip replacement surgery, just like the ones that people get. The doctors say with the new hip he can have a full life and do his work for a long time.
The problem is that the surgery will cost approximately $4,000.00! That is a LOT of money, much more than I can afford alone. The other fact is a replacement dog already trained like Sage would cost between $4,000 to $10,000. I would much prefer to be able to keep the helper that I have and love now.
I am selling dog soap as a FUND RAISER.
Won't you help me to take care of my boy Sage by buying a bar of Sage's Hope Dog Soap?
Sage's Hope Dog Soap is a Handmade Cold Process Dog Soap.
You are buying 1 bar of soap that is approximately 4 to 5 ounces in weight. A cute cotton storage bag is included. Not only are you getting a fine all natural soap bar that will clean and freshen your best friend and naturally help to ward away fleas ~ you are also helping me help my best friend Sage in the process!
This is a high quality soap created with the most natural ingredients that I could find. It is made with Natural Tallow, Lard, Sodium Hydroxide, Olive Oil, Caster Oil, Neem Oil with Rosemary and Sage extracts added.
Natural fats, oils and herbs means that this soap is very gentle on your hands as well as on your dogs coat, however natural soaps are also softer than commercial soap bars. A pretty cloth storage bag will be included with your order. Please store your soap bar in the provided cloth bag between uses to help it last as long as possible.
This bar of soap was hand stirred and molded. Bars are also hand cut. Air pockets and irregularities are a normal part of this process. Even so rest assured that each bar will meet or exceed the advertised weight.
This soap bar has been formulated for dogs NOT cats. Cats commonly lick their fun and have very sensitive systems. Please use soaps that are designed special for them. This soap is for external use only.
